Holding the coupler and hose as shown, turn the coupler
clockwise and tighten by hand, taking care not to cross-

some resistance. An additional one-half to three quarters
turn is required to complete the connection. If you
cannot complete the connection, disconnect and repeat
the above two steps. If you still cannot complete the
connection, DO NOT use this propane connection hose!

Inspect valve connections port and propane connection
hose. Look for any damage or debris. Remove any debris.
Inspect hose for damage. Never attempt to use damaged
or plugged equipment. See your local propane dealer for
repairs.

All connections of this generator have been checked at the
factory for leakage. However, in transportation and handling
some connections may have loosened. It's recommended to
run the leakage test every time before using.

• Do not smoke during testing.
• Do not test indoors.
• A leak check must be performed whenever the cylinder is
replaced.
